I make the sushi at my local Whole Foods, and yes, I haven't seen this anywhere else either. I was kind of surprised to find this at the store; it's definitely not traditional. Inarizushi is usually just filled with sushi rice, and maybe some sesame seeds on top or some furikake.
Wow, your Whole Foods is kind of fancy! We only make the smaller inari plates--the ones with three pieces.

thanks, Edna. good to know!

erisgrrrl beat me to it. The canned inari are already seasoned so you don't need to simmer them. But rinsing them does remove some of the syrup -- even though the sweetness counteracts the tartness of the vinegar in the rice.

I often stir in some veggies (carrots, peas) with the rice for lunch. The inari can be packed and frozen; thawed in the fridge or a lunch box. I also keep a bottle of homemade sushi vinegar in the fridge.

I will be trying the spicy shrimp inari soon. Thanks.

When you use canned inari skins you should line them in a colander and pour boiling (or at least REALLY hot) water over them. It helps get off all that sugary-oily syrup gunk that they're soaking in! While it's delicious, it throws off the balance of flavors (and makes for some mighty messy hands!) It will also help make them easier to open.

I was planning to make inari today and now I'm mad that I can't have THIS inari! Great detective work!

Funny, I'm eating spicy shrimp inari right now, but I got it at Ralphs. Always stop for some at least once a week.

I'd give you guys a perfect score, because it is hard to tell which is which. And I congratulate you for your tenacity rounding up all the ingredients... but I guess that was part of the fun.

Watch Out Whole Foods... there's a new culinary wonder in your neighborhood!

Amazing!

Hi Mary Anne! sambal oelek is this condiment/ingrediert made of (i'm pretty sure) straight peppers. it's superrrrr spicy and can be found most likely in the Asian section of your local grocery store. :)
